In the late 1860s, Māori teenager Penetito Hawea was implicated in one of Aotearoa's most sensational murders - the ritual killing of Anglican minister Karl Volkner.

Taonga: Treasures of Our Past retells precious Maori stories of romance, betrayal, politics and war, survival and heroism. Many of the stories have never been told on television before, and are brought to life with a mix of documentary footage and dramatisation using such well known actors as Ian Mune, Rawiri Paratene, Taungaroa Emile and Miriama McDowell.
